Filtering EBAY (TBAY)

Post by ModelTWoods » Sat Apr 04, 2020 11:23 pm

Does anyone have a good suggestion to filter Model T parts on EBAY? I previously used this: "Model T Ford-fits" as suggested years ago on this forum. The "-fits" was because so many items used the line: "fits Model T Ford. I guess EBAY has changed their format, or something, but within the last week, it looks different and I'm getting more "crap" in the search, than Model T parts.

Terry: Here's my t-bay Model T Ford 'minus' list, Model T Ford -(rat, fits, aluminum, bucket, walker, 4 row, 3 row, 2 row, chevy). Just keep track of key words in the non-T descriptions and add them to the string of excluded key words. My criteria does risk excluding some legitimate sale items, like the first and only prototype aluminum model T Ford made in 1904 by Chevy.

Try this instead "Model T" -fits
and select the category ebay Motors
Not sure if you have tried the Advanced Search there are additional options there to try or on the side menu like USED

EUREKA ! I found a way that suits me. On the search page, I keyed in: 'Ford Model T Vintage Car Truck Parts' in the Vintage Car & Truck Parts subsection of EbayMotors. I still get a man cave sign once in a while, but not pages of them like I used to. Also, everything is Model T or A; no Ford Thunderbird or Taurus crap.
